Solve 2/5*1/2+2/5

$$\frac { 2 } { 5 } \times \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 2 } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{2}{5} times \frac{1}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{2\times 1}{5\times 2}+\frac{2}{5}$$

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{5}$$

Since \frac{1}{5} and \frac{2}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+2}{5}$$

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
